The Four Sublime Attitudes of Loving-Kindness, Compassion, Sympathetic Joy and Equanimity are effective antidotes to our most harmful and negative states of mind. Cultivating these attitudes is a traditional Buddhist practice that brings happiness to the practitioner and benefit to all beings. It is possible to truly transform one’s mind and one’s life through these practices. In this class we will learn and practice traditional meditation techniques to nourish these positive mind states and examine together how they can help us to realize and fully enjoy and appreciate our deep connection with everyone and everything. Class fees; five class meetings:$75; $67 current SFZC members; $60 limited income.
